March 4, 2013 - PRLog -- Washington, DC – March 4, 2013 - Actionable Strategies, a boutique consulting firm serving clients globally, has been engaged to develop an ERP strategy for a very large enterprise in the Middle East. The client selected Actionable Strategies because of the proven methodology proposed for enterprise platform selection with a project team experienced in large scale ERP package deployment in globally distributed organizations. Actionable Strategies CEO, Jeffrey Wu, attributed the success to the value recognized by the client, who must remain confidential. “During the proposal process, Actionable Strategies demonstrated depth of knowledge in business process, ERP planning and implementation, program and project management, and enterprise technology leadership. We are very pleased to be selected from a field of multi-national consulting firms of all sizes.”

The project is a result of sweeping change experienced across the Middle East including leadership and governance transitions at the confidential client which is part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Middle East is expected to experience tremendous growth in the technology sector. Gartner Group projects the Middle East and North Africa region to experience growth in cloud services at around 20.2 percent through 2016 compared to the global average of 17.7 percent.

“We are enthused to provide guidance on Lean process innovation supported by Cloud computing models. Leveraging past engagements in business strategy, technology innovation, data governance, and information security will help our client with an encompassing roadmap from which business, operational and technology risks can be managed”, explained Jeffrey Wu, CEO of Actionable Strategies. “Organizations in the Middle East will benefit from best practices from North America and Western Europe.”

Actionable Strategies will provide business leadership, process knowledge, and technology innovation expertise to the Saudi Arabian organization. “We have invested in a number of strategic partnerships and specific solution approaches for a targeted set of global markets”, according to Frank Safertal, ICT Practice Director at Actionable Strategies. “As globalization continues to provide opportunities, we will extend our capabilities and work with solution partners to drive success with our clients.”
